It’s only about 160 miles from Ft Stockton to Terlingua so we took a leisurely morning at camp, walked around with Skye a couple times before heading south. It still took 3 hours to drive down here. The route comes through the park, and the park has a 45 speed limit, and it’s over 40 miles from the north gate to the west gate. But I always like driving through to get an eye full of what we’re here for.
We saw some antelope next to the road coming down. A small group of 4-5, just grazing inside a highway fence. We have also seen deer near the road.
At the check-in desk she commented that it was a bit early, I agreed and that was all we said about it. 😆.
We got set up with all the details we have been ignoring, levelers, jacks, chocks, water, sewer and power. Dump the tanks, it has been 10 days now since we left home. A lot of things have shifted in the garage section. Some day I’ll have to rearrange that.
This is now a dark sky campground, so all outside lights are out by 9, the buildings have red lights on the porches. I was just out walking Skye and the sky is beautiful! From Venus in the east to Mars in the west and the others in between. The moon has not risen yet so the stars are at full brightness.
